Dude, just pay the $8, no reason to cluch your pearls like that.

I don't think my comment was uncalled for. The OP was worried they broke the TOS by writing their own service. I wanted to reassure them that any move by Obsidian to squash them would be met with incredible scrutiny. I already pay Obsidian, both monthly and with the one-time donation. I mentioned it in my comment. My post was upvoted +3 until you responded with snark. Now it's at -4. Not sure how I'm pearl clutching.

> would be met with incredible scrutiny.

i highly doubt that. maybe from you but that is of no consequence really (to obsidian). hence your strongly worded comments are a bit over the top

FWIW - the sync service provided by Obsidian is really worth paying for. Dropbox / Github just aren't as slick and integrated. The mobile app doesn't work without sync (not without some really nasty workarounds), the option to "view sync version history", the fact that it's rock solid... all worth paying for IMO.

just a friendly reminder as it bit me often: the version history is gone/gets wiped any time you rename a file/folder.

(Obsidian CEO here) Impressive! It's fun to see the diversity of ways people sync/backup their Obsidian files. The nice thing about storing all your notes on your device is that it makes it possible to move and edit your Markdown files in many different ways. That diversity of solutions is what makes the ecosystem of Markdown tools resilient over the long term. There are already a handful of tools that allow you to s…

What's wrong with using Dropbox or Github?

I can't speak for OP's motives, but one reason one might do this is because you can't sync via Dropbox or Github on iOS. You can only use iCloud or Obsidian Sync.

You’re right! It now works on all platforms natively via the plugin (which does nothing except for replace API endpoints.) works perfectly for me without any third party servers

Super happy Obsidian Sync user here. I migrated over from Notion, here are the areas where Obsidian blows Notion out of the water: - Insanely low input lag especially on mobile. Obsidian is FAST. When i'm out and about checking my shopping list, I have a tolerance for maybe 250ms of lag. That's it. You need to show me my data FAST. Notion is a basically a webapp which simply doesn't compete, asks you to re-login cons…

Small nit, Notion has been rewritten into a native app on Android and iOS in the last year or so and the performance is significantly better.

Haven’t had the logging out issue either on iOS.

Whilst the reply from the CEO seems sound, their team promptly closed the path the plugin used to make self-hosted full-featured Sync & Publish work. "For Security" - ignoring the handful of other gaping security holes as less important I guess?

Anyway, I decided to fork and make it work with v1.4.5. Enjoy https://github.com/acheong08/obi-sync/issues/19#issuecomment...
